C++ Program to swap two numbers without third variable
We can swap two numbers without using third variable. There are two common ways to swap two numbers without using third variable:
- By + and -
- By * and /
Program 1: Using * and /
Let's see a simple C++ example to swap two numbers without using third variable.
- #include <iostream.h>
- #include <conio.h>
- void main()
- {
- int a=5, b=10;
- cout<<"Before swap a= "<<a<<" b= "<<b<<endl;
- a=a*b; //a=50 (5*10)
- b=a/b; //b=5 (50/10)
- a=a/b; //a=10 (50/5)
- cout<<"After swap a= "<<a<<" b= "<<b<<endl;
- getch();
- }
Output:
Before swap a= 5 b= 10 After swap a= 10 b=
Program 2: Using + and -
Let's see another example to swap two numbers using + and -.
- #include <iostream.h>
- #include <conio.h>
- void main()
- {
- int a=5, b=10;
- cout<<"Before swap a= "<<a<<" b= "<<b<<endl;
- a=a+b; //a=15 (5+10)
- b=a-b; //b=5 (15-10)
- a=a-b; //a=10 (15-5)
- cout<<"After swap a= "<<a<<" b= "<<b<<endl;
- getch ();
- }
Output:
Before swap a= 5 b= 10 After swap a= 10 b= 5
